I've been struggling with the Regular Expression implementation of ExtendScript quite a bit, because it doesn't parse Regular Expressions correctly. The following information may be helpful to others: The ExtendScript Regular Expression parser fails to correctly parse positive character groups (characters enclosed in square brackets). Quantifiers and the dot (".") don't make sense in a positive character group, so characters representing these quantifiers are not escaped in positive character groups. However, for the ExtendScript Regular Expression parser to interpret positive character groups, you MUST escape those characters. For example: A valid Regular Expression like this: /[?.*]/ … must be written like this in ExtendScript: /[\?\.\*]/ … for the ExtendScript Regular Expression parser to accept the Regular Expression.

I'm trying to write a basic After Effects extension and, while the extension is recognized and the html displays, I can't seem to use csInterface to access anything in ae. I'm just trying to get an alert message to display for right now. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, please help.   index.html:   <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Help Video Helper</title> <meta name="description" content="AE extension adding various functions for creating help videos"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="./css/styles.css"> <script type="text/javascript" src="./js/main.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="./lib/CSInterface.js"></script> </head> <body> <div class="container"> <div class="control-div"> <p class="control-label">Keyframe Hotkey</p>

Can anyone explain why I have to revert to a November 2022 Adobe version to be able to use Visual Studio as my editor for javascript? 

An old post in the Audition forum suggested this was a better place to ask programming questions related to ExtendScript and Adobe Audition. I am exploring feasibility of a hobby project, but could not find Adobe Audition ExtendScript documentation online to see if the available APIs were available. (Checking feasibility before investing any serious time in it.) Use case: I want to create an audio file using Google Cloud speech synthensis. It can generate "marks" which are time offsets in the audio file, so I know in the audio file where each word starts and ends. I then want to turn this into a song by specifying the desired pitch and length of each word. I can write a program that computes the current length, I know the pitch the clip was created with, so I want to apply computed pitch shift and duration stretch instructions in Audition. This will be computed different per word, not something I can do with "favorites". I know it will sound a bit choppy. Another approac

Hello all, I am working on a project, which among other things needs to convert a raster image into a vector image. I am looking to leverage third party tools for this conversion. During my search I came across this tool from Adobe: https://www.adobe.com/express/feature/image/convert/svgI was wondering if there are any APIs that I can leverage to integrate this converter with my project.  Thanks a lot.

Hi,  Need some assistance with a Java Script to compare dates.  Date calculation depends on another date. Todays Date = dd/mm/yyyy  [currentDate_af_date]Current Expiry Date = dd/mm/yyyy [currentExpiryDate_af_date]New expiry Date = dd/mm/yyyy [expiryDate_af_date]e.g. If Todays Date is within +/- 30 days of Current Expiry Date; New expiry Date = Current Expiry Date + 6 months. Else if Todays Date is outside +/- 30 days of Current Expiry Date; New Expiry Date = Todays Date + 6 months.

I'm trying to write some scripts to automate a build process and I can't seem to get exportToJSXBin.js working!

I see JavaScript posts in a number of places.  Where's the best place to discuss JavaScript implementations in Adobe PDF's?

I upgraded to XAMPP version 5.6.14 yesterday and using phpMyAdmin I get an error going to User accounts.  The analysis shows this sql query saying there are 5 unexpected closing brackets.  Here's the query:(SELECT DISTINCT `User`, `Host` FROM `mysql`.`user` ) UNION (SELECT DISTINCT `User`, `Host` FROM `mysql`.`db` ) UNION (SELECT DISTINCT `User`, `Host` FROM `mysql`.`tables_priv` ) UNION (SELECT DISTINCT `User`, `Host` FROM `mysql`.`columns_priv` ) UNION (SELECT DISTINCT `User`, `Host` FROM `mysql`.`procs_priv` ) ORDER BY `User` ASC, `Host` ASCIt doesn't show in the above query, but phpMyAdmin shows all 5 right brackets as errors and thus you can not open the User accounts, which is a serious problem.Anybody else seen this bug in the lastest XAMPP release that came out October 19th?  Sometimes it lets you into the User accounts and sometimes it throws this "fake" analysis and you can't get in.

Hello all, I want to know the step by step process for content Delivery with AWS Cloud Front and 1 Case Study related to that for understanding easily.

I've build a CEP extension for After Effects and it works great so far. I was hoping to implement Google Analytics so we can see which features are used the most etc.When we test the frontend in a browser Google Analytics works. When we use it in the extension it doesn't show any results / hits. Even when I use .debug and look at the localhost:8088... no hits are recordered by Google.I'm not sure who is to "blame" for this Google or Adobe? Any suggestions would be much appreciated thanks.This is the code that is used in the index.html of the extension:<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics --> <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-#########"></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'G-#######'); </script> 

7年前にCC2015SDKを利用してPhotoshop、Illustratorのプラグイン開発を行いました。現在も利用中なのですが、利用者によってはCC2015にサインインして利用できない人が出てきています。Photoshop、Illustratorのバージョンアップに対応するためには、毎回そのバージョンのSDKを利用してビルドする必要がありますでしょうか？それとも、古いバージョンのSDKでビルドしたプラグインモジュールをコピーして最新バージョン向けのプラグインフォルダに格納するだけでも良いのでしょうか？

my company has been using Looker extensively across teams for monitoring, analysis, reporting purposes for a decade. One problem we face is people may build looks or dashboards without being aware that something similar already exists. So it ends up we have thousands of looks/dashboards in the infrastructure which is very unnecessary.We want to come up with a solution to organize the Looker structure better and clean up duplicated visualizations. But we are also aware that it is very hard to depend on the users for this…Is it possible to use the Looker API to check the content of looks/dashboards and delete duplications? Or are there other solutions?Thanks in advance!

I've posted this question in the Illustrato forum as well. Why does any "app.doScript" scripts fail when run to Ai 2022 from VSCode vs 1.69.1?The same scripts work to Ai 2020 but our new M1 Macs will not support Ai 2020. Running the scripts via Keyboard Maestro by way of Applescript they work fine. But I cannot debug any script containing "app.doScript" method from VSCode. The script abruptly ends and AI 2022 locks up and must be force quit.

I've been waiting for years for this to be full version and out of Beta. I have a project that depends on this to complete and wanting to know if this will ever come to fruition. Is there any timeline for when we can expect to have full paid access?

Hello, As per our business need, we want to use the remove-background feature in our application. We can't go online and apply the affect. Instead, we want to call an API end point from our code or use a library to give us result. Is it possible to do it? We are willing to pay for the requested feature API/library.  Thank you,Sameer 

A client is using a program I wrote and after updating to the latest version of Adobe they can no longer print.  What happens is in the "Creating Adobe PDF" form appears, but it never progresses.  Also worth noting is that the "Document Name" combobox is blank. I am not sure why printing to all other PDF printers like CutePDF, Microsoft Print to pdf, and AcroPlot Matrix printing all work, but Adobe is not. Any guidance is appreciated.

When the user hits the [RETURN] key on the keyboard, a currently displayed dialog is dismissed, but the defaultElement's onClick() handler is not getting called. How can I run validation when the user hits the [RETURN] key, keeping the dialog from closing early?

I read in the Hennamann/ExtendScript-for-Visual-Studio-Code GitHub repository that it takes a separate language server to fully support ExtendScript because of the language extensions added to ExtendScript. In order to more easily get IDE support, wouldn't it be feasible to migrate those extensions to become compatible with JavaScript? The most easy approach would be to use const strings or one-line comments instead of pragmas for configuring target application etc., e.g.: "use strict" // #target "photoshop" '#target "photoshop"' "#target 'photoshop'"

I installed the Adobe ExtendScript Debugger extension for Visual Studio Code on Windows 10x64.When I then create a .jsx file and try to debug the file, I get the following exception:Runtime Error: Error Code# 1302: Element doesn't exist @ file '/d/Documents/Visual%20Studio-Projekte/ExtendScript/test.jsx' [line:1, col:NaN]

I am curently working on a way to validate script purchases using the http features of extendscript (ie. you give the user a key and the key will only work to launch the script on his computer). I was wondering if anyone would also be interested in using something like this ? I'm thinking of releasing it to the public but I want to know if anyone would be interested.
